It forms a key part of improvements at Silverburn, including refreshed, eco-friendly male and female toilets, a parent and child changing room and a prayer/quiet room.

David Pierotti, Silverburn’s general manager, said: “We want to make an environment where customers can come and shop, and feel at ease, whatever needs they may have.

“Some 20% of Scotland’s population is disabled, so it is important to us to ensure we provide all the facilities necessary to ensure our doors are open to all – hence the addition of the Changing Places.”

Under Building Regulations and British Standards, a Changing Places should be provided in any facilities to which numbers of the public have access, and/or spend a length of time.

The latest BS8300:2018 specifically itemises large commercial retail premises as a target location.

Closomat is one of the main installers of Changing Places facilities in the UK and says it can provide an in-house, ‘one- stop-shop’ complete package for ‘away from home’ assisted accessible toilet facilities, from design and commissioning, through to project management, supply and installation, and can also provide subsequent maintenance and repair.
